3. BLUETOOTH
Bluetooth is a proprietary open wireless technology standard for exchanging
data over short distances (using short-wavelength radio transmissions in
the ISM band from 2400–2480 MHz) from fixed and mobile
devices, creating personal area networks (PANs) with high levels of security.
Created by telecoms vendor Ericsson in 1994,it was originally conceived as a
wireless alternative to RS-232 data cables. It can connect several devices.
4. Implementation
Bluetooth uses a radio technology called frequency-
hopping spread spectrum, which chops up the data
being sent and transmits chunks of it on up to 79
bands (1 MHz each; centered from 2402 to
2480 MHz) in the range 2,400–2,483.5 MHz
(allowing for guard bands). This range is in the
globally unlicensed Industrial, Scientific and Medical
(ISM) 2.4 GHz short-range radio frequency band. It
usually performs 800 hops per second, with AFH
enabled.
5. Communication and connection
A master Bluetooth device can communicate
with a maximum of seven devices in
a piconet (an ad-hoc computer network using
Bluetooth technology), though not all devices
reach this maximum. The devices can switch
roles, by agreement, and the slave can become
the master (for example, a headset initiating a
connection to a phone will necessarily begin as
master, as initiator of the connection; but may
subsequently prefer to be slave.
6. Bluetooth profiles
To use Bluetooth wireless technology, a device
has to be able to interpret certain Bluetooth
profiles, which are definitions of possible
applications and specify general behaviors that
Bluetooth enabled devices use to communicate
with other Bluetooth devices. These profiles
include settings to control the communication
from start. Adherence to profiles saves the time
for transmitting the parameters a new before
the bi-directional link becomes effective. There
are a wide range of Bluetooth profiles that
describe many different types of applications
or use cases for devices.
7. List of applications
A typical Bluetooth mobile phone headset.
Wireless control of and communication between a mobile
phone and a handsfree headset. This was one of the earliest
applications to become popular.
Wireless control of and communication between a mobile
phone and a Bluetooth compatible car stereo system
Wireless Bluetooth headset and Intercom.
Wireless networking between PCs in a confined space and where
little bandwidth is required.
Wireless communication with PC input and output devices, the
most common being the mouse,keyboard and printer.
Transfer of files, contact details, calendar appointments, and
reminders between devices withOBEX.
8. Devices
Bluetooth exists in many products, such as
telephones, tablets, media players, Lego
Mindstorms PlayStation PSP Go, the and some high
definition headsets, modems, and watches.[The technology
is useful when transferring information between two or
more devices that are near each other in low-bandwidth
situations. Bluetooth is commonly used to transfer sound
data with telephones (i.e., with a Bluetooth headset) or
byte data with hand-held computers (transferring files).
Bluetooth protocols simplify the discovery and setup of
services between devices.Bluetooth devices can advertise
all of the services they provide.This makes using services
easier because more of the security, network address and
permission configuration can be automated than with
many other network types.
9. Computer requirements
A personal computer that does not have embedded
Bluetooth can be used with a Bluetooth adapter that
will enable the PC to communicate with other
Bluetooth devices (such as mobile
phones, miceand keyboards). While some desktop
computers and most recent laptops come with a
built-in Bluetooth radio, others will require an
external one in the form of a dongle.
Unlike its predecessor, IrDA, which requires a
separate adapter for each device, Bluetooth allows
multiple devices to communicate with a computer
over a single adapter.
10. Specifications and features
The Bluetooth specification was developed as a
cable replacement in 1994 by Jaap Haartsen and
Sven Mattisson, who were working for Ericsson
in Lund, Sweden.The specification is based
on frequency-hopping spread spectrum technology.
The specifications were formalized by the Bluetooth
Special Interest Group (SIG). The SIG was formally
announced on May 20, 1998. Today it has a
membership of over 16,000 companies worldwide. It
was established
by IBM, Intel, Toshiba and Nokia, and later joined by
many other companies.
